    About this ebook

    No one teaches us to laugh. Somehow, from the earliest ages, we just know how to laugh. It is our first form of communication. Most of these jokes are the ones that the author used over the past forty years when performing on stage playing his harmonica. Sometimes, he was accused of being a better comedian that he was a harmonica player. There may have been a lot of truth to that statement.

    The AuthorsSharon and Ray SteelmanDuring the past forty years, Sharon and Ray Steelman have started and run six successful businesses.

      Preface

      Everyone likes a good laugh. We are told that laughter is good for the soul. Laughter is without a question the universal language. No matter if one speaks French, Cantonese, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, German or English, everyone understands laughter. It makes us feel good. It brightens our day. Laughter puts a smile on our faces, a bounce in our step and improves our outlook on life.

      Laughter is a serious scientific subject that researchers are still trying to figure out. Why do we laugh when someone falls down? What is so funny about a prank on April Fools' Day? Why do babies laugh? Long before a baby says its first word, it can laugh. No one teaches us to laugh. Somehow, from the earliest ages, we just know how to laugh. It is our first form of communication. Scientists tell us that apes, chimpanzees, dogs and even rats laugh. Laughter is something that we can catch from another. It is a communicable event that puts a smile on our face and is easily passed from one person to another. It’s catchy. Laughter is a social phenomenon. It is not necessary to pass laughter to another by word of mouth. We know this, because even deaf people laugh without hearing and people who are talking on cell phones laugh without seeing. We even laugh when driving down the road and thinking about something funny that happened to us decades ago.

      Baltimore neuroscientist Robert Provine, a professor with the University of Maryland, has studied laughter for many years. He is the author of the book, Laughter: A Scientific Investigation. He has analyzed laughter in just about every way that you can analyze it. He states that:

      All language groups laugh 'ha-ha-ha' basically the same way, he said. There's a pattern generator in our brain that produces that sound.

      Laughter is an uncontrollable reaction to situations, events and thoughts that run rampant through the mental visions in our minds. This sometimes causes a person to laugh involuntarily. Some of us laugh in specific rhythms, specific tones and out of habit in certain spots in conversation. It is something that we just do! We can’t explain it, we can’t control it; we just do it! It is a social phenomenon. It's joy. It's a positive engagement in life, said Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University psychology professor. Laughter is deeply social.

      Researchers say that only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a
